How Can Pain In The Upper Abdomen Be Treated?

I am 41 years old, female, and no major health conditions. I take synthyroid because I do not have a thyroid and I had a complete Hysterectomy about eight years ago and I do not take anything for that. The last two days I have been having discomfort and some pain in my abdomen (upper). It is constant and achy with pulses of stronger disconforts. I have tried Miralax because I thought maybe I was constipated, but I am not. What could this be and what should I do? Thanks, Nicole

Pain in the upper may hbe due to many medical condtions.The treatment of this conditions depends on the underlying cause.Possible causes may include:
-Gastritis/GERD
-Respiratory pathologies
-Digestive disorders like infection, indigestion....
-Liver/gallbladder issues
-And others
Only a clinical evaluation may help to identify the cause.I will suggest you see the Doctor for examination.Depending on the findings on physical examination, tests may be requested like abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy, h pylori, stool exam, liver function tests....Your treatment will depend on underlying cause.
Hope this will help
